 Not Worth the ReadFeb 23, 2006
I purchased this book to get myself in the 'mood' for a trip to Savannah, Georgia. I found the stories unengaging, the attention to detail poor (Interstate 80 is not in Georgia), and the writing style did nothing to make the mainly second-hand narratives exciting or interesting. It was all I could do to make it through the Savannah portion. The stories are bland and the retelling is even more bland. This book's ghost stories make 'America's Most Haunted City' Savannah sound like your average city. If you're looking for good ghost stories, this is not your book.

 Great Book!!Dec 12, 2002
I recommend this book for anyone who lives in Georgia.
I live in Bowdon, Georgia where the haunted Inn is in the
book. I know the woman who lives in the Inn. She told
me one time that she had a guest in the house and they
were talking in the hallway , and that a door slamed shut
right in front of the guest. The guest left vowing never
to come back.

Looking for spine tingling thrillsNov 22, 1999
The stories Ms. Roberts shares are well-written and chilling. Georgia residents, in great detail, give eye-witness accounts of their experiences. Ms. Roberts writes these eye-witness accounts without being biased that spirits remain behind or not. A great travel guide to visit the historical south.

Historical folklore at its very best!Jan 05, 1999
I have been reading Nancy Roberts books for many years and they keep on getting better and better. She is extremely knowledgable about her subject and the photography done by her husband, Bruce, is always an excellent accompaniment to her writing. Nancy Roberts is a fellow Charlottean that I am extremely proud of. Anyone who enjoys folklore, storytelling, or just a good ghost story will love this book and her others as well.
